Letters, Patent No. 101,086, dated March 22, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN CREAM-HEATER.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern Be it known kthat we, J AMES C. BEDDOE and JOHN S. OQOX, both of Branchport, in the county of Yates and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Cream-Heaters; and we do hereby declare that the followingis a full and exact specification thereof.

Nature of the Invent-fion.

This invention consists of a, tubular vessel with preferably angenlarged bottom, which vessel is inserted in Vthe churn, cream-pot, or other vessel for heating the cream, as herein described.

General Description.

The drawing represents a central vertical section of our heater placed in a churn for heating the cream. The upper portion of the heater is simply a tube,

A, round or otherwise, preferably aboutfteen inches 650, when it is removed, and the cream is then ready for churning. The advantage of the construction lies essentially iu the form, the tubular part allowing au easy insertion in the vessel, and at the same time holding a column of hot water the whole height of the cream, while the'eularged bottom occupies a greater lateral space, not only to lill the flaring form .of the churn but also to give an impetus to the heating eiieet at that point, which'is essential to compensate for the rapid rising of the heated cream to the top. This form of the device produces the desired equilibrium of the temperature of the cream.

It is quite as effective in hot weather in reducing the temperature of the cream by inserting cold instead of hot water.

If desired, a Athermometer -may be attached to the heater, to indicate the temperature of the cream. In such ease it might be best vto insulate or remove it from Contact, as much as possible, from the sides of the heater, to prevent receiving heat therefrom.

In witness whereof we have hereunto signed our names in the presence. of two subscribing witnesses,

. TAMES/O. BEDDOE. JOHN S. GOON.
